Al Ittihad, a Saudi Pro League side, is looking to strengthen their wings. They’ve set their sights on our Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard.
Since joining from Brighton for £27 million in the 2023 winter transfer window, the Belgian forward has been a huge success in red and white. He has assumed the role of a super sub, frequently turning the game on its head with his goals and assists, receiving praise for it.
Coincidentally, as there’s a debate over whether Arteta should give the former Brighton star a prominent role in his team, The Athletic revealed Al Ittihad has submitted to Arsenal a 35 million euro bid for his services.
If the transfer market was still open, Arsenal’s decision to let Leandro Trossard go would have made sense. In fact, if Al Ittihad had made that offer a month earlier, Arsenal may have replaced Leandro Trossard with someone like Simon Adingra or Johan Bakayoko. But they can’t let him go now and we have rightfully turned down that offer.
Trossard is an extremely valuable player who assures the team’s goals and assists. The downside of rejecting the offer is that he turns 30 in December, and Arsenal is unlikely to receive anything more than the 35 million euros on the table. But that’s a cost Arsenal had to take, because selling now with Gabriel Jesus out and no replacement for four months is a gamble Mikel Arteta couldn’t afford.
